Hello,

I am new to using a sub-spindle and can not figure out how to reference the B axis (sub spindle) to my part in the main spindle so that the machine knows where the face of the chuck is.

I need to laser mark a series of lines around the diameter of a piece stainless wire that is .037 in diameter and approximately 4 inches long. We have a Epilog with a rotary attachment but dont mind...

Hi,

I own and run a machine shop however we only manufacture our own products that we produce and sell directly. I need to get a couple extensions turned from 6061 and since our lathe wont...

We just got a new HRT160 4th axis for our Haas Mini so my experience level with 4th axis in general is pretty low. My issue is this,

My first project for using my 4th axis is basically a cube...

Mike are these in stock and able to ship still today?

Mike,

The tubing is 13HV which translates to O.D. of .095 and I.D. is .064 with a wall of .0155. The machine is a HAAS CL-1 which is a brand new chucker they are putting out which has a .5 in...

I am self taught and have been using a HAAS mill for several years. I just recently purchased a HAAS lathe to widen our capabilities and make some things we do on the mill more efficient.

My...

good to know. :)

Well I never actually tried that. I'm self taught so I'm only familiar with commands I use regularly. I'll have to give it a try now though, lol.

Having a HAAS mill we have come to the point where we are considering getting a HAAS lathe. But its for a specific operation and I'm wondering if anyone knows if it can do this or not?

I'm...

would also like to quote.

please send still and or step or dwg to ( info at locktech.biz )

thank you

Ahh, thanks that explains why I could not find a button for CCW

I know this is a ridiculous question since I have used it in the past. I'm looking for check box to choose between CW and CCW when drilling on a mill. I am redoing a fixture and for some reason I...

I do not have the M8 on a separate line as you can see from the example below.

N17 G43 H7 D7 Z1. M08 ;

I'd be happy to try that, however can that still be the issue even when pressing the...

Jim,

Thanks, that does make sense. I'll do some checking on the relay and get back to you. Thanks for the suggestions.

I have a 2011 Mini Mill, in the last few weeks I noticed that sometimes the coolant pump (not high pressure) wont turn on when the code indicates it should. This appears to be completely random on...

I'm looking to get 4 different patterns cutout of .048 sheet steel. Tolerances are nothing special .025 is fine, except on the tab holes these would need to fit a 1/4-20 screw when finished. The...

I am looking to see if anyone has a rotary attachment for epilog they no longer use and would like to sell? It must be in very good to new condition and must be the "newer" redesigned rotary...

Thats ok, thanks for checking on it.

Its not that I can't or wouldn't like to. There is only so much time in a day and my time is more valuable working on other projects than this one.

I am needing to get the cover for my Mini to hopefully cut down on evaporation and contaminates getting into the coolant. Haas has quoted me $1250 for a new one.

If anyone has one they are not...

Thanks for taking the time to explain all that as well as attaching the file. One thing I did notice is even when using your file after dropping the speeds and feeds down to a number my machine is...

Thanks for the reply.

Quantity is several hundred+
Tolerances would be +/-.005
Finish is tumbled in plastic/abrasive pyramids to remove burrs and tools path marks.

I thought of doing it...

This is the main step of a part we produce. Currently it takes 9+ minutes to run this code through the rough, finish, & flatlands operations. I don't have a lot of experience with machining using...

Mmoe, Ok, that makes sense. And yes I do remember the warning very well. However, I assumed having the file open in demo mode and then registering the product while the ile is open in demo mode...

Fixed it

Just got told my BobCad Tech Support "sorry nothing we can do."

Seriously? This makes no sense to me, I can understand it the other way around.

If, I were a new potential customer trying out...

I recently de-authorize my V25 from my old laptop to register my new laptop. Shortly after the new laptop started having annoying speaker noises. Of course this had nothing to do with bobcad but it...

Got in a time crunch and working this weekend and of course that’s when this sort of thing is bound to happen.

I closed down shop normally yesterday and when I went to set up a fixture this...

had an old mach3 with uss used on an old mill no longer being used ( moved up to haas mini ). took all and hardware and installed on new cnc lathe project. the mach3 profile for the mill still...
